Chance of Thunderstorms Tuesday through Friday

Showers and thunderstorms will be likely this week for most of the area. The best chance for thunderstorms west of the Cascades will be on Tuesday after which the threat will shift east to the Cascades and East Side.

Small hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain are expected with these thunderstorms. If you have outdoor plans this weekend, be sure to have a plan for where to seek shelter if a storm develops nearby. Seek shelter when you hear thunder. Remember, “when thunder roars, go indoors!”

According to RogueWeather.com - Here is a look at the incoming low that will kick off all the action later today for us. The big thing here to watch out for is the very heavy rains that could develop with the storms. It is not out of the question that flash floods could happen. Especially in areas that burned last year.
